8th Meeting of the Madrid Cold Atoms Network

It gives us great pleasure to announce the 8th meeting of the Madrid Cold Atoms Network. This will be held on Monday, January 11 at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid.

The meeting aims at bringing together researchers in the Madrid area, working on a wide variety of cold atom physics. The programme will consist chiefly of a mixture of short talks (20 minutes) and longer presentations (40 minutes), together with several intervals for discussion/coffee.
